Waterbury, CT – Robbie McGrayne scored seven goals and the Post University men's lacrosse team took down Dominican University (NY), 18-7 at LaMoy Field in Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) play.

The win moves the Eagles to 6-4 overall and 2-1 in the CACC. Dominican is 2-8 overall and 0-2 in the conference.

It is the second time McGrayne has scored seven goals, which tied a career-high he had against Saint Thomas Aquinas College (STAC) in the 2022 season.

The Eagles were only behind for 21 seconds as Post tied the game up at 14:01 in the first as Hayden Hindman scored his 11^th goal of the season as Ryan Denike found him alone atop the Chargers defense and he ripped a shot past Dominican goalkeeper, Gerardo Caltagirone.

McGrayne then scored back-to-back goals just 26 seconds apart, the second on a pass from Hindman who found him along the goal line a few feet away from the net and McGrayne took three steps and put a shot past Caltagirone to make it a 3-1 game. Post scored two more, including Braedan Lockyer who notched his first goal of the game, who was found by Denike as he cut to the net to take a point-blank shot.

The Eagles went into the second period with a 5-2 lead, and cut the score to a 5-3 game after William Gordon opened up the second with a goal for Dominican at 13:48. Just over five minutes later, McGrayne then scored two straight, the first taking a pass from Dylan Heald who found him in traffic and absorbed a bump from a defender making it a 6-3 game. He hen scored off a pass from Lockyer. Tim Keefe scored his second of the game just 37 seconds later. Heald followed with his first of the game as Nolan Carfagna launched a pass all the way down the field to him while he was standing alone by the net and scored his 28^th goal of the season.

With just 11 seconds left in the half, McGrayne scored his fifth and maybe the most impressive goal of the season as Heald made a quick pass over his head no-look pass to him as he cut to the net, making it a 10-3 game heading into the half.

Dominican got as close as 11-6, scoring three straight in the third, but the Eagles followed with the next three, including the second from both Heald and Keefe as Post went up 14-6 at the 10:56 mark in the fourth.

Post closed out the game scoring four times in the final 5:40 as Heald scored his third of the game, Zack Gignac scored his third of the season and McGrayne capped the game with his final two goals just 29 seconds apart.

Heald had a hat trick and two assists. Lockyer, Keefe and Leighton Cooke each scored twice.

In net, Cole George stopped eight shots in the win.

Heald leads the CACC in goals with 29 goals and 43 points. McGrayne is second with 28 goals and 39 points.

Up next, the Eagles hosts Caldwell at 2 p.m. on Tuesday, April 11.
